Endowing robots with human-like emotional and cognitive abilities has garnered widespread attention, driving deep investigations into the complexities of these processes. However, few studies have examined the intricate circuits that govern the inter...
The patch clamp technique has become the gold standard for neuron electrophysiology research in brain science. Brain slices have been widely utilized as the targets of the patch clamp technique due to their higher optical transparency compared to a l...
We propose a robot-assisted method to generate spherical thermal lesions by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation. Typically, HIFU-induced thermal lesions are cigar-shaped because the acoustic field in the focal area has a similar elongat...
In biomimetic design, researchers recreate existing biological structures to form functional devices. For biohybrid robotic swimmers assembled with tissue engineering, this is problematic because most devices operate at different length scales than t...
Cultured muscle tissue serves as a power source in biohybrid robots that demonstrate diverse motions. However, current designs typically only drive simple substrates on a small scale, limiting flexibility and controllability. To address this, we prop...
The study proposes a multi-sensor localization and real-timeble mapping method based on the fusion of 3D LiDAR point clouds and visual-inertial data, which addresses the issue of decreased localization accuracy and mapping in complex environments tha...

Appropriate and adequate feeding is essential to maintaining good health, productivity and welfare of dairy cows. Within automatic milking systems, concentrate feed is offered inside the milking robot, and is thought to play a key role in motivating ...
Soft robotics, a research field wherein robots are fabricated from compliant materials, has sparked widespread research interest because of its potential applications in a variety of scenarios. In soft robots, luminescence is an important functionali...
sEMG is a non-invasive biomedical engineering technique that can detect and record electrical signals generated by muscles, reflecting both motor intentions and the degree of muscle contraction. This study aims to classify and recognize nine types of...
Skeletal muscle is the main actuator of various families of vertebrates (mammals, fish, reptiles). It displays remarkable robustness to micro-damage, that supposedly originates both from its redundant hierarchical structure and its nervous command. A...
